John <br />Subject: Aegir Brewing City Council Meeting 10-5-2020 <br />Date: Monday, October 5, 2020 10:10:06 PM <br />Attachments: IMG 1762.mov <br />Hello, <br />Tonight we attended the council meeting for Aegir brewing. There were some incidents that <br />occurred immediately after leaving tonight that I wanted to make you all aware of. I am attaching <br />video as well. Please note the times in the video as it happened right after. <br />I wanted to give you a little history about the three parties that were there tonight. <br />We are all tenants in the building at 19050 Industrial Blvd Elk River. <br />Jenny Haberman is with CSI and she has been in that building for over 15 years. This is a service that <br />works with persons with disabilities and traumatic brain injuries. <br />Chris is with Minka and she has been in the building for over 10 years. They service the special <br />needs population as well. <br />Myself Nicole, I own Loving Hands Transportation and we specialize in transporting children and <br />adults with disabilities. <br />When I toured the building over 2 years ago when it was owned by Don H of True Blue Properties, <br />these wonderful ladies were already here as well as a couple of other Medical companies. The door <br />was a secured door on the front and that was intriguing to us as we also had protocols to follow as <br />we have sensitive client information. We also were provided 4 parking spaces to keep vehicles at. <br />These were designated and marked with parking signs that were approved and have been in the <br />same spot since day one. <br />Aegir brewing just recently purchased the property and none of us in the building were made <br />aware until after it happened. They did not greet us to see what could be done, instead we were in a <br />sense bullied. They wanted to give us one months rent back and $1000 moving costs. This was not <br />and is not doable. All of our agencies have taken a hit since Covid and with rent prices being so high <br />its not possible for us to find something around what we pay now and in the secured building we <br />had all been in up until now. <br />My husband and myself have met with Aegir brewing on two occasions, the first time was when we <br />heard that they purchased the building and we wanted to know what the plan was. They were still in <br />the starting phases and were not for sure on all the details. The second meeting was Jeremy wanting <br />us to move our office in the building to a smaller one so that they could build a bathroom where we <br />are because they stated they had to due to capacity. There is only two one stall bathrooms in the <br />building currently. We let them know that due to having to get approval from the state on many <br />things that this would take time and money and with covid likely months. Jeremy proceeded to say <br />"well its going to get noisy around here so you all will have that to deal with it". We left it at that and <br />contacted our attorneys who informed us to not do anything until the council had made up its <br />decision on the business permit. <br />Tonight: Immediately following the meeting they went out of your front doors and were screaming <br />
